Need a spare Kia key?
A spare is the cheapest insurance you can buy for your Kia. Making one while a key still works is quicker, and costs less, than starting from nothing after the last one goes missing.
We come to the car, cut the blade if it has one, code the chip or smart key to your Kia, and test it on the doors and ignition before we leave. For most Kia models it takes roughly 30 minutes after we reach the car. More on spare keys.
Lost every Kia key?
You don’t need the original, and you don’t need a tow truck. We make a new Kia key at the car, using the car itself.
Have these ready:
- Photo ID
- Proof you own the car, such as the rego papers
- The VIN if you can find it (it’s on the rego papers, and usually at the base of the windscreen)
Once the new key works, we remove the lost ones from the car’s system so they can’t start the engine. They may still open the doors, so rekey or replace anything they were on. More on car key replacement.
Locked out of your Kia?
Keys locked inside, or in the boot? We open Kias without damage to the paint, the seals or the lock. Car openings never cause damage.
If a smart key is sitting inside a locked car, don’t keep pressing buttons on the spare. Call us, tell us where the car is, and we’ll say straight away when we can get there. More on lockouts.
Utes, vans and fleets
The Carnival is a popular family and shuttle vehicle. A spare key is a good idea if more than one person drives it.
Kia keys, explained
Like Hyundai, Kia used flip keys on most models for years, with smart keys on newer and higher-grade Sportage, Sorento, Carnival and Seltos models.
